Hair transplant 4 months ago. Growth has started but one site appears to be growing faster and denser than the other. (photos)

4 months after a hair transplant to fill in temple areas. All seems to be going well but one temple side appears to be growing more and denser then the other. After the transplant the density appeared to be the same up until the sheding of the transplanted hair. After about 2.5/3 months the hair started to sprout through but now at 4 months there is substantial growth but one site far more then the other. My surgeon has said its still to early to say but feeling a little unsure.

It actually is looking pretty good so far! You typically won't be able to judge the results in any way until between six to nine months. It is also quite common to see one side growing faster then the other side.

Transplanted hairs start to visibly regrow between months 4-6. At month 6-9, a patient may expect to see growth for 80% of the transplants. Again, due to the random cycle of hair growth, not all grafts will start growing at the same time. Initially, the hair my be thinner and finer. It will gain length and density as it matures. Full growth from the transplants is usually achieved at 12 months.
